A well-designed, well-built stone landscape pays off for generations, that’s the sustainability case most carbon conversations miss. This session defines Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) independently verified, cradle-to-grave life-cycle data published industry-wide for natural stone and shows you how to use them alongside service-life and life-cycle comparisons to defend stone on sustainability grounds with data, not just durability claims.
Learning Outcomes:
Explain how service life influences the environmental performance of landscape materials.
Compare life-cycle considerations including durability, maintenance, repairability, and embodied carbon among common hardscape materials.
Evaluate natural stone as a resilient material within sustainable landscape design strategies.
Apply life-cycle thinking to support environmentally responsible material selection and long-term project stewardship.
